Book Description
A family fights their demons on a dangerous cattle drive in this action-packed Ralph Compton western. Doc Blaine has signed a big contract with a cattle buyer up in Kansas. After a couple more good springs, Doc might finally be able to retire, but for now he’ll have to contend with a band of marauding brothers who are out for vengeance against the Blaines. Another set of brothers might prove to be the bigger liability—his own sons. Doc needs sizeable herds from each, but Miles and Jared Blaine have been feuding for years over the same woman—even after Miles married her. And Jared once vowed that someday he would kill his younger brother—a threat he never took back… But Doc believes he can get both sons to Kansas—as long as one doesn’t know the other is making the same drive… More Than Six Million Ralph Compton Books In Print!

Book Description
Amarillo. Yellow City. Bomb City. Any name you choose, it’s unique. Rooted in Texas lore but full of modern surprises around every turn, Amarillo is much more than an overnight stop on the way somewhere else. With 100 Things to Do in Amarillo Before You Die, get the best insider itineraries and ideas to make the most of your time, whether you spend it eating, exploring, or just taking it all in. Well known are the Big Texan Steak Ranch with its 72-ounce steak challenge and the Cadillac Ranch, perhaps the best-known roadside public art installation in the nation. They anchor either end of Route 66 as it passes through Amarillo but complete your cruise with a visit to Historic Route 66, a one-mile neighborhood in the center of town with galleries, shops, restaurants and clubs. Think about searching for the railroad highlights of Amarillo’s past, or catching the growing number of murals all around town, or visiting the impressive number of museums in the area. Palo Duro Canyon is a magnet for all sorts of outdoor activity, but so are Lake Meredith National Recreation Area and Wildcat Bluff Nature Center. Local author Eric W. Miller’s 100 Things to Do in Amarillo Before You Die definitively answers the question of what to do in Amarillo. It’s more than a bucket list; it’s an open ended ode to his adopted hometown.

Book Description
In this Ralph Compton western, the road to hell is a short ride.... Before hearing the call of the Lord, Paul had seen more than his share of sin—mostly his own. But since he came to minister to the small town of Pueblito Verde, most of what he sees are tamer transgressions. Knowing his own past, Paul believes the occasional mistake doesn’t make someone truly evil. But some men are more evil than others. When the brutal Jack Kerrigan and his band of ruffians hit town, Paul’s new life starts to go bad. Then things go from bad to worse when ruthless bounty hunter Dave Sprole arrives with money and murder on his mind. Now, the town is caught in the crossfire between two cold-blooded killers—and Paul knows that it’s time for him to stand up for what he believes in....

A man sets out to Mexico to avenge his father's death in this western from USA Today bestselling author Ralph Compton. Nathan Stone, the man they called The Gunfighter, lay dead in the dust of an El Paso street. The Sandlin gang kicked up that dust as they rode back laughing into Mexico, where the U.S. law couldn't touch them and local law didn't want to. Behind him Nathan Stone left his horse, his Winchester, his custom-made Colts, and his name. The son who had grown up without him took them all. His name is Wes Stone. He used to be a lawman, but when he picks up his father's guns, he takes down the star from his chest. Wes knows the impossible odds of going against the outlaw army and its empire of evil. But he knows something else too. He's his father's son, and he's going to teach his father's killers exactly what that means... More Than Six Million Ralph Compton Books In Print!

Book Description
Get off the beaten path and explore the hidden-gem destinations within a few hours of the Mother Road! Includes numerous photos and illustrations. Known as the Main Street of America and the Mother Road, US Route 66 is the nation’s best-known highway. This lavishly illustrated book steers you from Chicago to Los Angeles, traveling through the lowlands of the American Plains and the high plateaus of New Mexico and Arizona, from the Great Lakes to the mighty Pacific Ocean, and through major metropolises and remote country towns. Best of all, it lets you branch away from the Mother Road and encounter gems hidden beyond today’s standard motels and tourist traps—the quaint frontier communities that date back to the nation’s westward expansion; the legacy of ancient native cultures; and the awe-inspiring natural wonders that have graced these lands since time immemorial. State parks, wildlife refuges, museums, historic sites, literary landmarks, and much more are there to be explored within a few hours’ drive from the path of Route 66. The fifty trips included here offer new travel opportunities for the thousands of road-trippers who follow this legendary route, looking for something more. “The road and this book recall a time before franchise restaurants and chain motels choked America’s highways . . . the guide consists of 50 driving tours, which include plenty of side trips.” —Arizona Republic
